Electron Raceway’s first “Cobra/Corvette Challenge†(aka CCC) will be held in concert with two other classes (GT1 and Historic Trans Am). The locals discussed the upcoming race to be held on Thursday, July 10, 2014, and decided to run Cobras and Corvettes. Since not all members have built a Corvette or Cobra to the “True Scale†specifications CCC will be a “mixed†race. James recently unveiled a 53 Corvette built to Pelican Park (PP) specifications that won the “main†at PP – quite an accomplishment for a non-local. Bob has a 57 Corvette meets both Pelican Park and OSCAR specifications that runs quite well. Both of these rides are shown below. Note that Pelican Park and OSCAR rides allow for O-ring front wheels and small (.790) rear wheels. The smaller wheels and scratch built chassis give these cars a bit of an advantage. Counterbalancing this is that the True Scale cars are angle winders (rather than an in-line configuration) and may allow for a wider track. It should be a very interesting matchup.
Back in 2007, Electron Raceway held a “Gran Sport†race that featured the small wheeled cars. Gran Sport includes Corvette and Cobra cars. I posted a humorous piece about this race in the Race Narratives and Results folder of the files section on the Electron Raceway Group site
